    world musicTickets

    Friday night flamenco at Hotel Albuquerque puts live bailaores, a cantaora, and a guitarrista in one of the few dedicated tablao settings in the Southwest. The room is intimate enough that you will feel the footwork through the floor, which is either thrilling or distracting depending on where you sit, so request a table toward...

    Jason Scott & The High Heat at KiMo Theatre

    Kimo Theatre
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Jason Scott & The High Heat take the KiMo stage for Bands of Enchantment, a show whose name suggests something bigger than a single headliner, so expect either a multi-act bill or a set with genuine range. The KiMo's ornate Pueblo Deco interior does something to a live show that flat-walled rooms can't touch, but...

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownhip-hopTickets

    Bravo The Bagchaser and Peysoh roll the Nothing Given Tour through El Rey, a late-night show with a ticket link already live, which means the room will fill before walk-up becomes an option. El Rey's long narrow floor pushes the crowd close to the stage, and for a hip-hop show at this hour, that's either...

    June Opal Presents is putting drag queens in the hot seat for a roast-style interview show at The Box, one of the more thoughtfully programmed small stages on Central.
